SUMMARY: Local Latino communities are feeling anxious amid heightened ICE deportation efforts targeting undocumented individuals, especially criminals. A local advocate, a U.S. citizen for over 20 years, described the panic among immigrants fearing the impact on their families. While she supports deporting dangerous criminals, she believes that law-abiding immigrants should be given a chance to gain legal status, emphasizing the lengthy and costly citizenship process. She highlights the essential roles immigrants play in the economy, noting that rumors about ICE operations are affecting local businesses. ICE recently reported a significant number of arrests, clarifying that not all undocumented individuals are targeted.

SUMMARY: The South Carolina Senate has approved a bill to build a gas power plant to address energy supply shortages. The state’s population has grown rapidly, with a 90,600 increase in 2023, making it the fastest-growing state. Georgetown County Senator Steven Goldfinch emphasized the need for more energy to support growth, as projects in areas like Ory County are delayed due to energy shortages. After intense debates, the bill passed 38-3. Goldfinch hopes new plants will alleviate energy shortages and eliminate peak hour rates. He anticipates another power plant within the next three to five years.
